    Doesn’t it come across as unethical and wrong like an abuse of power to you?

        This is a blazingly hot take but you are entirely correct, and people need to hear it. People will scream “FUCK SPEZ” while logging in to 400 different reddit tabs daily and continuing to feed a corrupt (and soon to be) corporate entity.

        I’d be more upset if this was something actually important like a government website or something people’s lives depend on, but yeah, it’s not. It’s just entertainment. Folks need to move on.

      Sure it’s wrong, but the real point is no one is surprised Musk did something to make someone feel like shit. It’s his goal

      The better move is to let the platform slip away into irrelevancy.
